Genesis 30:28-34

28And he saidH559, Appoint me thy wagesH7939, and I will giveH5414 it. 29And he saidH559 unto him, Thou knowest how I have servedH5647 thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me. 30For it wasH1961 littleH4592 which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased unto a multitudeH7230; and Jehovah hath blessedH1288 thee whithersoever I turned: and nowH6258 when shall I provide for mine own houseH1004 alsoH1571? 31And he saidH559, What shall I giveH5414 thee? And JacobH3290 saidH559, Thou shalt not giveH5414 me aught: if thou wilt do this thingH1697 for me, I will again feedH7462 thy flockH6629 and keepH8104 it. 32I will passH5674 through all thy flockH6629 to-day, removingH5493 from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheepH6629, and the spotted and speckled among the goatsH5795: and of such shall beH1961 my hireH7939. 33So shall my righteousnessH6666 answerH6030 for me hereafter, when thou shalt comeH935 concerning my hireH7939 that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goatsH5795, and black among the sheep, that, if found with me, shall be counted stolenH1589. 34And LabanH3837 saidH559, Behold, I would it might beH1961 according to thy wordH1697.
